Plant and Bloom

[spinkle]

Looking back do not look
for flashing lights.
Let them find you.
If they slow or stop
all progress forward,
do not chomp the bit.
Rest a while, let secrets
(really lies)
slip off tongues
through clutching fingers.
Dream of sliding off uncaught
or drift off slowly
disappear in darkness.
Pick up like wind
and scatter a damned seed
travelling without destination.
Plant and bloom in imminent sunlight.
If I could frame
tonight as a warning
hangovers happen
and force dread of morning.
I want to live life
in a spandrel.
I want to feel
the tug of tendrils
wrapped around wrists
and drawing me towards
the life I'm leading
which isn't mine
but certainly
isn't yours.
What is guiding me
through and along
within the circle
of certain arms?
Plant and bloom in imminent sunlight.
Pick up like wind
and scatter a damned seed
travelling without destination.
Plant and bloom in imminent sunlight.

what i got out of this is dont worry about where life is going to take you, just enjoy the ride there. reminds me of my "finding myself" poems. you know what i found? that i really dont care who ME is... "my life" is just this simple analogy for "the things i do"... they dont make sense, usually, and neither does my life.
Steven Tyler said it perfectly: "Life's a journey, not a destination."
right on.

You should hear me play it if and when I finally get off my ass and try and get a goddamn gig, e-girl

 

[Furnace]

Wow, fantastic.
Bloom, flower, bloom.

i have a deep respect for songwriters. i like this one too. it sounds like one of those songs that you hear and think about, instead of just enjoy.
i'd like to hear your songs too!
i love your style.
